We, the members of the Apex Association of Anioma Indigenes Inc., proudly join the Anioma Nation and the entire Nigerian community in congratulating Chief (Prof) Epiphany Chigbogu Azinge, SAN, on his well-deserved nomination and presentation as the 14th Asagba of Ahaba. Born on November 13, 1957, Chief Azinge is a distinguished Nigerian lawyer and academic, known for his service as the 5th Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies from 2009 to 2014. He continues to serve with distinction as a Judge at the Commonwealth Arbitral Tribunal in London, representing both Nigeria and Africa. Additionally, he is the founder and senior partner of the prestigious law firm, Azinge & Azinge, based in Abuja.
We rejoice with you and your family on this monumental occasion. As the 14th Asagba of Ahaba, we are confident that your reign will herald a new era of fertility, growth, unity, and peace across the land. Your profound humility, simplicity, and exceptional leadership qualities will undoubtedly bring positive transformations, not only to Asaba but to the Anioma Nation as a whole.
We also look forward with great anticipation to the historic World Igbo Culture, Language, Heritage, and Tourism Summit, scheduled for November 29th-30th, 2024, at the Dome Event Centre in Asaba. It is a testament to your leadership that this significant event will take place during your reign.
May the Lord who has brought you this far bless you with long life and good health, and may all visible and invisible authorities work in your favor. We pledge our unwavering loyalty and support as you lead us into this new chapter.
Congratulations, Nna!
